Very disappointed with our experience with Clark Travel. We booked them for our wedding based on reviews and were hopeful going in to the day.* Please note, the drivers were wonderful, kept our guests safe and got them where we needed to be. Th...is is not a reflection of them* We booked two, 32 seat buses in May for our November wedding date. We were assured at the time of obtaining the original quote (February) and booking the bus (May) that BOTH buses we received would reflect the images on the Clark Travel website (leather seats, Wi-Fi, TVs, plugs.) We were told that Clark Travel only had one bus that matched this description, so they would get one from their sister company, Roadrunner (also out of Austin), and the only differences between the two buses would be the exterior color and that the Roadrunner bus would have no bathroom. None of this was a problem and we happily booked.
Fast forward to November, the buses we received did not match the above description in any way. The seats were cloth (in the typically, slightly dated upholstery), there were no bathrooms, no Wi-Fi, no plugs, and I do not recall seeing a TV (the TV was not a feature we would have utilized, however we had been told to expect this amenity.) We had communicated with our guests that we had rented “executive” buses, so it was rather embarrassing to see the final product. Neither bus was from Clark or Roadrunner, and instead were from a company out of San Antonio. At the end of the night my husband inquired as to how much the buses we used would typically go for, and the bus driver quoted us a price far below what we had paid.
We reached out to Clark in an attempt to resolve the situation, who offered to take $15 off the hourly charge, however, this still does not get the hourly rate anywhere near where our research shows a bus of this description should be. When we pointed this out to Clark, they stated it was a sold out weekend (it wasn’t when we booked in May) and they would not adjust their reimbursement. They also stated that in our contract we agreed that Clark could use other vendors as needed and that they would meet the minimum seat requirements, however, it does not state that they reserve the right to lower the quality of transportation being offered to their customers. We are extremely disappointed, and definitely did not get what we paid for.
